[The Phoenix Pioneer]
BC Historical Newspapers
Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District. The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916. The paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912.

They intended to work all their producing" properties this winter to the limit, including" the Rawhide. The coal companies have g-ivon him no actual date when sufficient coke would arrive in Greenwood, but they thought thai there would be a sufficient .quantity on hand about the second week in December.

The Copper Market Xi'W Vork. Nri\*cinln'r 'J.t. Once more the copper market is fairly close to the 13-cent level, and so far as I can see has not yet .exhausted its new found strength. The market has been holding very firm during the past week or so, on a basis of 12 5-.S to 12 3-4 cents for electrolytic. The great part of the copper recently sold has been for delivery in November and December, a fact which indicates that consumer.- have not been sufficiently confident as to the maintenance of business and of prices to induce them to make .commitments beyond the close of ihe current year. I low- ever, continues the I'nited Stales Investor, 1 am told that within, the last few days tbcrejias been a growing tendency lo extend tlie time for delivery.

Copper Co. was in the Slocan recently, arranging for -prospect developing on the L. II. property situated in" ihe vicinity of Silverton. ' It is probable that ' further important development work will be undertaken at the , 1 lewitt-Lorna Doone mine next spring. . The management is considering the advisability of driving a' long deep- level adit below the No. 7 tunnel.. The Sun Rise group, two miles south-west from Laidlaw, was located within the last three weeks by Archie Cooper and Harry Sergeant, of Hope, for themselves and associates. A number of samples from .the ledge were sent lo J. O'Sullivan, of Vancouver, for assay. The return was'received yesterday, showing o..o ounces in gold, or $f>7, to; ihe ton, besides small values in] silver. " ! The Hritish Columbia Copper j Co. has relinquished its bond on j the McKinlev mine, in Kranklin { camp, on the north fork of the! Kettle River, and ceased work1 there. Two neighboring mineral claims were afterwards taken under option of purchase, and these have since been under development. The work on the latter, however, has beeii suspended for. the winter, an arrangement having' been reached to resume work thereon in the spring. One of the most satisfactory evidences of mining progress in the province is found in Ihe conli-mied profitable operation ofthe Hedley Gold .Mining Company's Nickel Plate mine,- wilh its-forty stamp mill, in Hedley camp, Similkameen. Last year this company 'paid its shareholders dividends lo a total of I-I per cent on the company's issued capital of $1,200,000. This year three dividends have been paid, together 15 per cent, or a lot'al ol SLSO.0O0 in 191 I. Andrew Laidlaw, a well known Spokane coal operator, has just completed the purchase of twelve sections of coal lands in the Klal- head section of southeast' Kootenay and will undertake development work next spring.

Modern plant will be installed before July of next year, lo permit of a daily outptttof 2500 tons. With present equipment the mine is now shipping- 150 tons daily, the coal being supplied to the Grand Trunk Pacific and the 'Edmonton market. Round about the headquarters of the Skeena, the Naasy the Stikine anil the Klappan rivers is situated a coal field seventy utiles long by thirty miles vide, containing wide, deep, rich seams of line anthracite, noil-coking and smokeless coal, the coal most suitable of all for naval purposes, for the mercantile marine, and for domestic use in the cities.

I "For the Efflnghams," I said to the elevator boy as 1 banded him my card. i I was In a New York apartment bouse for a cull on some old friends of mine. The elevator boy handed my curd to the telephone hoy. who announced to tlie Effi oghams tlint Mr. Townsend had called. ��� "AH right," said tlie latter nfter receding a reply. "You're to go up." i I stepped on tbe elevator aud was soon ushered by u maid iu a black dress and a white ruflled apron, into tbe drawing room of an apartment on the sittb floor. There was no one in tbe room, which surprised me, for I wns very intimate with tbe Eflingbums and supposed that at tbe announcement of-my uuuie tbe whole fumily would be waiting to greet me. It was fully ten minutes that I sat waiting when 1 noticed that the light j shining through a keyhole in a door opening Into aa adjoining room sud- | denly gave place lo darkness. I "One of the girls," 1 said to myself, | "is spring on me. That's a game two can play nt" I got up from my seat, strolled ���bout tbe room, looking at the pictures on tbe wall as If to kill time while wulting. and when I reached the door in question quickly turned tbe knob and threw the door open. There, kneeling so as to bring an eye opposite the keyhole, was a young lady I had uever seen. Her face was eritu-. son. and after looking at me for n moment she covered her face with ber bands. I saw at a glance that not only one mistake had been made, but several. There might be fifty families in the building, and there -were probably more than one named Effingham. I bad doubtless got into tbe wrong flat But why wns the girl peering at me through the keyhole?. Perhaps there bad been a double coincidence of names, sbe knowing some one by the name of Townsend, or sbe did not know any one by that name and was anxious to reconnoiter the visitor before appearing." My curiosity being moused, I resolved not to spoil my chance of enlightenment* by giving anything away. I proposed to listen. not to talk. Tbe girl arose and, still blushing to the roots of her hair, came forward. . \ "I am mortified beyond measure." sbe said, "at being caught in such a ^ position, but you must admit that be fore receiving a call from tbe mini I am to marry I 'would naturally, desire ���fr~ to see btm unobserved.'myself.''^ i- ���. ��� "The most*. natural' thing' in Ihe world," I replied, repressing a start on learning that I was to be the girl's husband. "I received your note,", she continued, "saying you would call yesterday. and later your, telegram that1 you bud suddenly been called away. Then when you were announced Just now I was taken quite by surprise; having expected that our meeting would not take place for some time yet." , "I decided not to go." "Sly net is certainly not calculated to ghe you a favorable impression of me. I admit. Just think of a man calling for the first time on a girl he is to marry, whom be has never seen, and finding her peeping through a keyhole. It's simply dreadful!" / "But becoming. To my taste, a girl never looks so well as when blushing." "But there: is no necessity for us to stand. Be seated." She sank on a sofa. I on an easy chair. "I have fought against sqeh'a marriage, but my guard- - Ian. who has certain views for my property, has finally worn me out. Besides, he tells me that you are as much interested from" that point of view as I. Nevertheless I have told bim that after seeing you if you were repulsive to me the matter should not go any further. And that is the reason why I was endeavoring to get a peep at you before meeting you. I intended if you were disagreeable to me even in appearance tliiit'I would after all decline to receive you.", "Knowing this, I'm'.sorry I didn't leave you free to make a decision." "I should have decided to meet you," sbe replied; to this, casting down her eyes. | "Thank heaven:" "You mean that you are pleased that these schemes for the development of our properties are to be carried out," the said archly. "I assure you," I replied, with an injured look, "tbat these property schemes have nothing to do with my satisfaction at finding you In every ,way so much more attractive than I bad boped for." ' There was a blush at this, not of mortification, but of pleasure. , "Now. I beg of you." I eonMnnvS. ^���not to speak'furtber of this matter .if property Interest thnt has brought ub together.

"I said to you jiist now before this interchange of Information that after U had hci'n made the sordid part of this transaction should be dropped. Now let us talk of other matters." By skillful management I * learned that the man I had been mistaken for bad gone away to be absent several weeks and lbat no communication was likely to lake place between Iiim and Mks Effingham until bis return. At first I permit ted myself lo drift on Into the false positl* i carelessly, but now and again twin es of conscience would come lo me n::d. more than all, n distaste for the denouement tbat was sure to follow. At the end of this our first meeting It was evident that we woro mutually pleased with each other, nml if we continued to lie so tlie wishes of ihe lady's guardian would be curritd nut. What these wishes were or bow far they would tend to her enrichment I didn't care. When 1 arose to go she said: "But you are not going before see- j ing my stepmother aud my half sisters They are my only relatives." "Pardon me." I replied. "1 nni rather shy of mectjng strangers, especially under tin- present clrcuinstances. How would It do for llieni to get a sight of me ihe way you did���through tbe keyhole?" "If you ever mention that again you may consider the matter broken off between us forever. After all, I think It as well that you should meet them during a later visit." "I'm sure of It. IIow often do you think you can endure n call from me?" "As often its you like." I wondered whether Miss Effingham considered I bat w.e were engaged and would grant me un engaged man's privilege or. rather, expect me to take it. I didn't wish to presume so far on a mislakeii Identity and was going away without n kiss. Tlie lady must have considered herself engaged, for she made it plain Hint no such cold departure would please her. I took the kiss. and. (hough it was intensely enjoyable, I felt that 1 bad received thai to which I was not entitled. When I stepped out of tbat apartment house into (he open air I was fairly overpowered by the change which had come over me since I had entered It. There were pleasurable sensations confused with horrible anticipations. What would I do during the next few weeks while this other Townsend was away? Was 1 to try to win' the girl? I conned over the question as to whether or no it would be honorable for me to do so. There were several points iu my favor.- In ihe first place. 1 was twice as well lixed In- worldly possessions as tbe other fellow. In the second. I ' had found favor in Miss Efliughaiu's sight, iind'she had yet to see him. She might on meeting him take a great dislike to bim. I secretly heiied she would. I took pleasure in depicting him In my mind's eye as a red headed, j freckled, snub nosed chap with' tbe forehead of an oraug outnng. I went straight home, .sat down In an easy chair and tried to think of some plan whereby I might come out of the mutter with eclat instead of cou- * tempt, butfalled to Und one. What would have been the outcome had I not been pierced with an arrow shot from the little gcd I don"r know. It would prob.ibly have been far different from what-It was. I vowed to keep away from Miss Effingham and the consequences of my first visit to her. I kept my resolution by calling the next day. and the next and the next, for two weeks, every day intending a confession and never making one. .Meanwhile the matter between us was a case of desperate love. I went to see my sweetheart one day aud learned that the sword suspended over me had fallen. I found ber In the room where I had first met her, talking In an excited state to a man who. as I entered, looked at me REV. W. T. ALLISON HAS DONE WELL IN BOTH FIELDS. AN IRISHMAN'S WIT.

Allison, the new professor in Engii.ih at Wesley College, Winnipeg, was brought up in Toronto, and in that city received that training which has fitted him for the position which he now occupies. As a boy, Mr. Allison attended Ryerson School, passing from 'there into th-.' Harbord Collegiate Institute. It wai here that he first got his taste for journalism, having edited the collegi paper. From Harbord Mr. Allison graduated, and attended Victoria College, where he took his B. A. in 1899. and his. degree of M.A. in 1QC0. For the study of theology he entered Knox College, Toronto. While there ho won a Yale scholarship, and in that university earned his degree, of B.D. in i901. During his college carrer he made several short excursions into the field of journalism, his longest connection with the press being on The Toianto News.

In 1907 Mr. Allison removed to Aiiddlcfield, Conn., and engaged in post-graduate studies at Yale University irom 1907 to 1010. In June laU he received his degree of Ph.D. from that university. Mr. Alli^jn is well known among the Canadian poets. He issued last year a volume of verse under the title, "The Amber Army," which was received with great favor by tha reviewers. He has another important work in the press at tbe moment. H:s theme is the prose works of Milton, which is to be published i-i the famous series of Yale studies in English by Henry Holt & Co.

Mr. Wallace, started In Arizona and one night.'stopping at the town of Show Low, heard from the founder the origin of the name!''' Here Is the story as It was told to Mr. Wallace: Some twenty years ago Show Low formed part ofytbe extensive cattle ranch and range of Cooley & Hunlng. and twenty years ago It received its name through tr game of seven-up. between : the partners for ownership. I heard the story from Mr. Cooley himself, still a large rancher and one of the best known cattlemen In-Arizona This Is the story as he told It to me: "Hunlng and I were playing a game af seveu-up to see who should make i bread for supper and wash the dishes. We stood 5 to 0 in Huiilng's favor. Seven, you know, is tbe game. Dla- ] raondswere trumps. On the,hist.band I drew the ace aud the trey.; I banked on the deuce being still In the deck. The ace counted one, and If Hunlng dfdn't hold the deuce the trey was low and the.game was mine. " 'Make the game worth while,' says I. 'Let it be $10,000 or the ranch.' ".'It's a go,' said Hunlng. "I covered the center spot on my trey. "���Now,' said I, "show low and it's yours." "And. hang him, be showed the deuce aud won." Hunlng Inter disposed of the ranch in small parcels to settlers, and the little village came into being and took its name, as did tbe creek, of Show Low from that game of cards.

He paid sixpence ' for it as a memento of his visit to a London playhouse.

Is the only copy known to exist of the first edition of the p'ny of "Titus Androuleus." printed in 150-1. Students were long nwnre that tbe play was then printed, but it was believed that the entire edition had been lost. Then the chance discovery added one more to the small number of unique books lu tbe world and again illustrated the importance attaching to any smallest bit of Sbake- speureana. "Titus Andronlcus" was possibly not by Shakespeare, but It was doubtless revised by him. it was acted by bis company, and a few lines in It were written by him.

This precaution was taken because of the curious determination of people who have been given alcohol in a recognizable form during illness to continue taking it altar they have recovered. This, in fact, is a very grave reason why doctors should not recommend patients to take alcoholic stimulants. 1 "Whisky saved my life," they will say. Or "Brandy saved my, life." And when they have quite recovered they .will continue to save their lives day after day, when their lives are not iu the slightest danger.

To put '.n a pair of rubber gloves of the kind often used in hospitals by surgeons during operations is a difficult and tedious task, even with the aid of an assistant, but a London surgeon has just invented an ingenious contrivance that accomplishes the tusk by machinery in a few seconds. The apparatus consists of two cylinders from which the air can be partially drawn by a piston worked by ii pedal. At the top of each cylinder is n flanged rim. over which the the opening of the glove is stretched and fixed with the fingers hanging vertically into the cylinders. The glove when in this position completely closes the cylinder. When the operator trends on the pedal the pis- tor, is fulled downward, producine a partial vacuum in the cylinders. The difference in atmospheric pressure thus produced stretches the gloves to a size that will allow the hands to be easily pushed into them. Air is then admitted into the cylinders and the gloves contract upon the hands with a sudden snap. England's Youngest Archbishop.

London, never as exaggerated as America's metropolis in the matter of feminine fashions, nevertheless finally has fallen victim to the enormous hats of straw or lace affected by summer gowned womankind. Not only do the English newspapers and periodicals denounce the huge specimens of millinery worn by women of tbe smart set. but they even invent hygienic reasons to prove the evil of this type of beadwear. One west end hairdresser, for instance, has taken it on himself to denounce publicly and In no measured tone the effect such hats have on their wearer's tresses. *'A3 grass turns yellow under a mushroom so women's hair will lose Its color and deteriorate under the gigantic hots' which are now the mode." says this specialist. "There is every possibility of the fair sex going bald unless a revolution In hats Is effected. First of all. these enormous mountains of mll- \ linery shut out the health giving sun' | and air; secondly, they present' such vast surfaces to the wind that they tug against the detaining' hatpins like a kite on a string."
